Rivera has gone a perfect 3-0 against Mercedes recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Raiders will challenge the Tigers at 5:30 p.m. Rivera will be strutting in after a win while Mercedes will be coming in after a defeat.

Rivera barely beat Donna North the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Raiders blew past the Chiefs 4-1 on Friday. Considering Rivera have won three matches by more than two goals this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, Mercedes was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their sixth straight loss. They lost 4-0 to Edcouch-Elsa.

Rivera is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those seven contests. As for Mercedes, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-12-1.

Everything went Rivera's way against Mercedes in their previous meeting back in March of 2025, as Rivera made off with an 8-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Raiders since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
